My property as been "buzzed" by low-flying private jets twice in the last month--like 300 ft above my home

Mine was too a week or so ago. I've never been buzzed by jets before and I'm not sure why it would happen. OTOH, that jet was quiet and very pretty. Coming from an aircraft entusiast, I would love to have a ride in that thing.

There's a small airport that would accomodate such craft, but generally the fliers want more landing space...and lately I've had the nuisance of a helicopter who likes to fly low and won't leave. When I got out my binocs, he skedaddled.

These jets can fly tens of thousands of feet high. What are they doing diving 300 ft above my house in a rural area? I can't get their flight numbers fast enough to turn them in to the FAA, but I haven't given up.

No, I don't find then charming, and they shriek and scream. Now I get to wonder if some kid is at the controls because the owner won't lock up his toy. As per my own dreams, I'd rather fly like the heron than a guided missle, but that'll never be an option.
